I joined AU in summer 1999 and volunteered to help ready the newsletter for mailing for a year, and almost got beat-up by the Farbers convicted-felon housemate Earl. Henry thought it was fine that Earl offered me $500.00 to be a prostitute for a day because I'm poor. I declined the offer. And later Rachel Sene called me a loser, twice, for my having multiple health issues and being poor on disability. The Farbers and Rachel then bad-mouthed me at AU and CFI events for over 10 years. I dropped out of AU due to this bad-mouthing of me in 2005. Why would I want to again give money to and volunteer for a group who treated me so badly for having health problems and a work injury that I did not ask for? You try surviving on $886.00 per month. I get requests from many worthy groups wanting money. I already give $60.00 yearly each, to CFI-LA and PETA. I promote atheism everywhere I go. AU lost a valuable promoter in me in spite of my health and money problems. I did not appreciate that Christine Brean trying to bully and shame me into giving AU money and volunteering again. When you atheists stand up for my right to not to be abused by cruel, ignorant, judgemental atheists, I will again join AU. Richard McNally, thanx for not publishing my atheist poem, that you asked me for. AU is not worthy of my small amount of money, and volunteer efforts. I feel ashamed when I tell god-believers how badly some AU atheists have treated me. Too many self-congratulatory people there showing off their fancy educations. I didn't get to go to UCLA on my relatives scholarship for anyone with Lebanese DNA. I found out about it on-line when I was 55. My son is in prison for 30 years, my mom dead of an overdose, my aunt got addicted to pills, I got irritable bowel syndrome and a low-back injury, all due to my father's abuse of us. Not everyone in America has the good life. When I'm suffering I think of Nelson Mandela's struggle against apartheid. I will keep fighting daily for abused animals and people by signing and sharing petitions and writing to elected officials. A feisty atheist in Burbank.
